Method and equipment for creating routing data in packet-switched data communications when the quality-of-service class of the data transfer packet to be routed influences the routing data. Based on protocol data, which can be, for example, an IPv4 destination address, and information of quality-of-service class, auxiliary routing data is defined, which indicates which of the routing data alternatives conforming to this protocol data corresponds to the information of quality-of-class. The routing data is created based on the interaction of the auxiliary routing data and the protocol data. The number of different combinations composed of protocol data and auxiliary routing data appearing in the practical data transfer networks is notably smaller than the number of different combinations composed of protocol data and information of quality-of-service class. This fact is utilized in the solution according to the invention for reducing the amount of required storage capacity.
